Perhaps. It's good to be skeptical but foolish to assume we know better than those who have access to intelligence we do not. It could be that they are making this up to support Israel, but far more likely they have similar sources for their information. The consequences for getting caught lying about something like this would be significant.

For the record, it appears they were telling the truth. CNN just sent a reporter to Al-Shifa who verified Israel's claims.

Interesting!! So there's definitely a tunnel and it's unclear what it connects to...

About time there was some clear data in amongst all the lies and half-truths. This will be a huge help for Israel if it proves significant, at least there'll be some vindication

This is going to sound like a conspiracy theory so please view the footage to confirm for yourself, but Israel's former PM says Israel built some kind of bunker under the hospital decades ago.

Fascinating! Thanks for the link. This means the mere existence of the tunnels isn't enough to prove that they are in use by Hamas. I suspect they are, but I suppose they will have to continue to provide more evidence of that to conclusively prove it.

Well that's highly entertaining :) great Intel.

I guess they'd be crazy not to use it as a base, it's part of their whole approach, really (hide behind civilians, etc).

Everything about this is just awful!
